The appearance of red or blue capillaries on the body or face is caused by dilated blood vessels in the surface areas of the skin. The most effective way to remove the capillaries is laser therapy. Laser light energy is focused selectively on the blood vessel. Then energy is transferred from the laser to the vein, which makes the blood to evaporate, and the vein shrinks and is absorbed into the tissue. After the treatment, the capillaries may darken, but within 1-4 weeks you will see the treatment result.
Single small capillaries, spider veins and hemangiomas on nose, chin, cheeks, also on legs and body can be removed.
